New artistic director Steven Glaudini is bringing in elements from Broadway for the summer season of Moonlight Stage Productions. U-T file

Steven Glaudini is going Broadway this summer with a slate of shows at the Moonlight Amphitheatre that will feature spectacular sets and costumes from New York.

Glaudini — who took over as artistic director of Moonlight Stage Productions on Jan. 1, after the retirement of founding director Kathy Brombacher — has announced three of the summer season’s four shows. The lineup — including “The Wizard of Oz,” “Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein” and “The Who’s Tommy” — clearly reflect Glaudini’s new vision for the company.

“I wanted to accomplish a number of goals during my first season,” Glaudini said. “Shows that are new to the Moonlight (are) a top priority. This keeps our seasons fresh and the excitement high for our audiences. The visual appeal of our shows is also another priority. Bringing in production elements from Broadway and Madison Square Garden this season will uplift the look of what we put on stage.”

Before joining Moonlight, the producer/director/actor spent five years as artistic director and producer of Musical Theatre West in Long Beach, and was executive producer of Performance Riverside from 1999 to 2005. With his long record as a producer, and a stint as an Equity agent, Glaudini said he developed a nose for negotiating that has helped him land hard-to-get shows and good prices on sets and costumes.

Glaudini said he’s “hit the ground running” in his new job by lining up shows not only for this year, but for next year, too. On opening night of the Moonlight summer season June 26, Glaudini said he’ll announce the lineups for both the 2014 winter and summer seasons. The big news for summer 2014 is that he has already locked in the San Diego regional theater premiere rights for “Mary Poppins.”

For this summer, the season-opening show is still under wraps. Glaudini said he can’t announce it until mid-March, but it’s a musical classic that has recently been revived on Broadway and some of the sets and costumes from that Tony-winning production will be used at Moonlight. Glaudini will stage-direct the production, running June 26-July 13.

Here’s the rest of the 2013 lineup:

• “The Wizard of Oz” — July 24-Aug. 10. Based on the 1939 film adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s classic novel, the adult-cast production will feature sets and costumes from the Madison Square Garden production. While running Performance Riverside, Glaudini acquired the Madison Square Garden sets, and when he produced “Wizard” there in 2003 (and later at Musical Theatre West), the show broke box-office records. That’s a feat he plans to repeat at Moonlight.

“I want to get the families out for this show,” he said. “I can’t wait to see the kids running down the hill and enjoying themselves with a show that’s one of the best ever written for families.”

• “Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein” — Aug. 21-Sept. 7. Brooks’ musical parody of classic horror films makes its Southern California professional premiere, featuring sets and costumes from the Broadway production. The high-tech, special effects-laden laboratory set for the Broadway production was scheduled to tour with the show in the U.K., but when the tour was postponed until 2014, Glaudini snapped up the rights for this summer.
